as for newbies, well probably have to inconvenient them by telling them to go on the forums for a whitelist, eg. you can log in and create chars but you can't undock without whitelist. once you create char, obviously you recieve a message saying "whitelist".
besides whitelist will be better for newbs as well- today i made a new char, loaded it up with stuff i plan on selling, then BOOM got destroyed by a hacker.

precisely why a whitelist instead of blacklist. you can make a new ip and mac address, but it will be a bit harder finding and spoofing an existing mac and ip that is unbanned

You have to apply on the forum to get your ip/mac whitelisted and the admins can grant it or not.
Pro:
Only the people wanted are on the server.
Con:
A huge amount of work for admins. Newbies who dont know about the forums are discouraged
